Love List

Hi girlies!!!I am so sorry i have not blogged in so long, but i was really busy with school. The good news is that i am done and can now get back to sharing what i love with you guys. I have been getting a few e-mails about what items i am currently in love with for Spring/Summer 2012, so here are my choices for skin, sunnies and shoes.

Sunnies

These Valentino D-Frame Acetate are Perfection. You can purchase them here.

1. Giaguaro Sunglasses 2. Elizabeth and James "Kendall Sunglasses" 3. Rayban Original Aviators
No matter what shape your face is, these styles are flattering on just about anyone. Repeat after me "I need these in my life" Hahaha. They can be purchased at shopbop.

Skin

Murad Oil Control Mattifier really works. I have been using this product for quite some time now and it controls my oily skin for up to 8 hours. It's a must all year round. You can get it at Sephora

Do you want coverage but do not wanna wear foundation? or maybe you just want a smooth canvas in which to apply your make up. Well, either way Smashbox camera ready BB cream is your solution. BB cream can be worn without foundation for light coverage, or with foundation for maximum coverage. I personally wear this without foundation during the week. It gives me an even complexion without having to wear foundation or powder. What is better than that? It is available at Sephora.

Shoes

I am obsessed with this super cool version of the Mary Jane pump. It not only has the cap toe which is so in trend, but it also includes the sorbet colors which were all over the catwalk. Stuart Weitzman is a genius. Hope you already made a space in your shoe closet for these lovelies, like i have..lol get them here

 If you want something similar to the Stuart Weitzman Capsize Mary Janes for a lot less...then these ZARA court shoes are perfect.

All of these are sandals which i have been crushing on. I would love for them all to come home with me :) 1. Alexander Wang 2. Boutique 9 3. Giuseppe Zanotti 3. L.A.M.B 4. BCBG they are all available at Shopbop.

DIY: Studded/ Spiked Converse

I love personalizing my things. I feel fashion should be about expression and individuality. A couple of months ago i decided to add studs to my converse to give them a bit of edge. I love the finish product and get tons of compliments on them. I have attached a video i found on Youtube which shows another style of  Studded Converse.

My Spiked Converse

Wearing them with a rocker look :)

Hope you guys get inspired to try a DIY project.
